Willow Springs, Mo. – The Willow Springs Senior Center recently received a capacity building grant thanks to Ozarks Food Harvest’s $1 million investment in agency infrastructure in southwest Missouri.
The grant funding will purchase a 10×10 walk-in outdoor freezer, which will help increase food capacity and feed families in Howell County. Willow Springs Senior Center was one of more than 70 organizations chosen by Ozarks Food Harvest to receive an agency capacity grant to assist with hunger-relief efforts.
“This grant is a blessing as the children, families, and seniors we serve continue to deal with economic uncertainty,” said Wilma Sheets, Director of Willow Springs Senior Center. “Thanks to Ozarks Food Harvest, we’re able to distribute more food now and in the future.”
Willow Springs Senior Center provides services and meals to more than 1600 individuals a month. For more information on the center, call 417-469-3892.
